From Prison Walls to Recovery Halls: Steven Ayers' Journey

What happened to me as a child is not okay. That energy is just out of my body now, so I don't have to numb, I don't have to run and I don't have to be triggered when life gets tough to numb, because I've already allowed myself to reprocess all of that traumatic energy in my body.
Steven Ayers' life is a testament to the power of resilience and transformation. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', Steven opens up about his harrowing childhood trauma, including being molested, and how it set him on a path of self-destruction through drug addiction. For the first time ever, he shares his story publicly, shedding light on the dark corners of his past and the burden he carried for years.
His journey took a dramatic turn when he ended up in prison, a place he surprisingly credits with saving his life. Instead of succumbing to despair, Steven used his time behind bars to confront his demons and start his recovery journey. Now, he's dedicated to helping others find their way to sobriety. This episode isn't just about Steven's personal battles; it also dives into the broader impact of generational trauma and the importance of vulnerability in healing.
Steven’s candid discussion offers valuable insights into the role of accountability and responsibility in recovery, urging parents to avoid enabling behaviors and instead foster a supportive environment. His message is clear: no matter how dark your past, there is always hope for a brighter future. Tune in to be inspired by Steven's remarkable story of turning his life around and helping others do the same.
